Rex Ingram
Oyuncu · 1895 – 1969 · Cairo, Illinois, USA
Rex Ingram (October 20, 1895 – September 19, 1969) was an American stage, film, and television actor. Ingram graduated from the Northwestern University medical school in 1919 and was the first African-American man to receive a Phi Beta Kappa key from there. He went to Hollywood as a young man where he was literally discovered on a street corner by the casting director for Tarzan of the Apes (1918), starring Elmo Lincoln. He made his (uncredited) screen debut in that film and had many other small roles, usually as a generic black native, such as in the Tarzan films. With the arrival of sound, his presence and powerful voice became an asset and he went on to memorable roles in The Green Pastures (1936), The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (the 1939 MGM version), The Thief of Bagdad (1940—perhaps his best-known film appearance—as the genie), The Talk of the Town (1942), and Sahara (1943). From 1929, he also appeared on stage, making his debut on Broadway. He appeared in more than a dozen Broadway productions, with his final role coming in Kwamina in 1961. He was in the original cast of Haiti (1938), Cabin in the Sky (1940), and St. Louis Woman (1946). He is one of the few actors to have played both God (in The Green Pastures) and the Devil (in Cabin in the Sky). In 1966 he played Tee-Tot in the movie Your Cheatin' Heart. Ingram was arrested for violating the Mann Act in 1948. Pleading guilty to the charge of transporting a teenage girl to New York for immoral purposes, he was sentenced to eighteen months in jail. He served just ten months of his sentence, but the incident had a serious effect on his career for the next six years. In 1962, he became the first African-American actor to be hired for a contract role on a soap opera, when he appeared on The Brighter Day. He had other work in television in the 1950s and 1960s. Rex Ingram died of a heart attack at the age of 73. [biography (excerpted) from Wikipedia]

Film7.8DramTarihGörkem ve şaşaa bakımdan çok az film, Cecil B. De Mille'nin 1956 yapımı destansı "On Emir"iyle karşılaştırılabilir.

Tüm yeni doğan erkek Musevileri ele geçiren Mısır Firavunu 1. Ramses'ten kaçmak için bebek Musa Nil üzerinde kamış sepetle yolculuğuna başlar. Firavunu kızı Bithiah tarafından kurtarılır, evlat edinilir ve erkek kardeşi Firavun Seti'nin sarayında büyütülür.

Film7.3Dram1920'lerin kırsal kesim Amerika'sında bir din tacirinin hikâyesini anlatıyor. Din ve inancın çıkar amaçları yönünde sömürülmesi üzerine bu önemli film, Burt Lancaster ve Shirley Jones'a birer Oscar getirmişti. Ayrıca Jean Simmons, Arthur Kennedy ve şarkıcı Patti Page de var * Din, dindarlık, vaizlik üzerine yapılmış en iyi filmlerden biri, belki de en iyisi. Burt Lancaster coşmuş bu filmde. Jean Simmons da azize rolünde çok iyi. Espriler harika. Pek az akıcı filmden biri. Gerçi Hıristiyanlık üzerine ama evrensel bir yanı var.

Film6.4DramTarihThe King of Kings is the Greatest Story Ever Told as only Cecil B. DeMille could tell it. In 1927, working with one of the biggest budgets in Hollywood history, DeMille spun the life and Passion of Christ into a silent-era blockbuster. Featuring text drawn directly from the Bible, a cast of thousands, and the great showman’s singular cinematic bag of tricks, The King of Kings is at once spectacular and deeply reverent—part Gospel, part Technicolor epic.
